Members of the Boston and Chicago Com
mercial Clubs to Visit the Twin
Cities To-Day,
Where They viii Be Entertained by the
Men Who Have Helped Make the
Northwest.
A Coming Together Of Capitalists From
Four Great Cities That Has Nest
Significant Bearings.
The Programme of the Day---Drives and
Banquet---A Long List of
Solid Men.

An event of more than ordinary sig
niticance will occur i'll st. Paul this
morning, growing out of the visit to the
Northwest of the Commercial club, of
Boston, Mass. Through the efforts of
the Chicago club and the business men
of this section, a quadruple alliance is
to be formed between Boston, Chicago,
st. Paul and Minneapolis capitalists, for
the advancement of their various COM
mercial interests. 1t was deemed
judiciouS that the Eastern capi-
tallStS should have an oppOrtu-
nifty of judging for themselves of the
vast resources of the country west of
Chicago. and consequently they were
invited to come out to ST. Paul and
become acquainted with the men who
have done so much to encourage the ad
vancement of the Northwest. Under
the escort of the Chicago club,
the men from the Hub
will reach here this morning over the
Chicago, Minneapolis Il st. Paul in
special train, consisting of nine new
Pullman veStibule coaches that are
making their first run over the road.
According to the programme arranged
by the local committee, breakfast at the
Ryan will be first in order, and at half
past 9 O'Clock delegation of citizens
will meet the visitors and take them out
for drive about the city and suburbs.
One of the committee, in discussing
the matter last evening, said: 1T will
be pleasure for me to meet such a
party, and l will make sure that one of
them goes in my private carriage with
Inc. We cannot do too much to encOur-
age such intercourse with the capitalists
OF the East, and it is going to be Il great
day for st. Paul."
This is fair reflex of the opinion en-
tertained by the citizens generally in re-
gard to the visit of these gentlemen.
and on every side could be heard de-
termination not to leave anything
undone that could conduce to the com
fort and pleasure of the party. All the
principal industries of st. Paul will be
given an inspection, and from the most
elevated points in the city the guests of
the occasion will be given view of the
splendid panorama of the surrounding
country.
TO MINNEAPOLIS.
AT noon the party will leave st. Paul
for Minneapolis. where they will be en-
tertained with lunch at the West and
drive about the city, and at 4 O'clock a
train will convey them to Wayzata.
Here the steamer st. Louis will be in
waiting to give hosts and guests ride
ONtd 11dhS W lllc
Lafayette, where dinner will be served
at $50 O'Clock. This will be a pretty
exhaustive trip and the future of the
TWin Cities will be eXpatiated upon at
length by those most capable of showing
their destiny and at midnight special
train over the Omaha road will be in
readiness to start homeward with the
tourists. The members of the visiting
group are men of distinction at Boston,
and are the recognized leaders of the
commercial world in which they are
located. In doing them honor ST. Paul
will only be adding to its already eStab-
lished reputation for hospitality and at
the same time inducing most favor
able consideration for future business
enterprises.
The members of the reception COM
mittee will leave st. Paul and Minneap-
oils at $3.50 and p. IN. respectively, i'll
stead of 3 and $3.50, as originally in
tended, and this portion of the eXcur-
sion will be on the same train to their
destination and return. Very little else
terday save the proposed visit of the
Bostonians. The members of the Bos-
ton club are as follows:
